macOS ◆ xterm-256color ◆ zsh 955 views

Simple demo of headless installation on Fedora Linux 37 installation (via LXD instance). This installation doesn’t necessarily encompass all of the hardening steps one might do, but it at least shows the simplest form of creating a standard user for Ignition to run as, downloading and running the installer, and some simple checks to monitor/manage the SystemD service.
